For many years my wife and I have bought and enjoyed
the American Girl products for our daughters (21 and
9). But we are now questioning our continued purchase
of AG products, since American Girl is currently
promoting an organization called Girls Inc.

Girls Inc. openly advocates on behalf of
homosexuality, premarital sex, and abortion. Here are
some representative excerpts from the girlsinc.com
website:
http://www.girlsinc.com/ic/page.php?id=4.3
>>Advocacy Statements<< http://www.girlsinc.com/ic/page.php?id=4.3.1
>>Girls have the right to be themselves and resist
gender-stereotypes.<< >>Working with girls and young women, we also endeavor
to eliminate sexism, racism, homophobia and other
forms of discrimination.<< http://www.girlsinc.com/ic/page.php?id=4.3.4
>>Girls have the right to accept and appreciate their
bodies.<< >>To make responsible decisions about sexuality,
pregnancy and parenthood, girls need and have a right
to sensitive, truthful sexuality education; convenient
access to safe, effective methods of contraception and
protection from disease; and referral to comprehensive
information, counseling, clinical and other services
that support their responsible decisions. We
recognize that any sizable group of girls includes
those who face issues related to their sexual
orientation or that of a family member and who face
discrimination based on this sexual orientation.
Girls have a right to positive, supportive
environments and linkages to community resources for
dealing with issues of sexual orientation.<< >>We recognize the right of all women to choose
whether, when, and under what circumstances to bear
children. Reproductive freedom and responsibility are
essential to other rights and opportunities, including
pursuit of education, employment, financial security
and a stable and fulfilling family life. Restrictions
of reproductive choice are especially burdensome for
young women and poor women. Girls Incorporated
supports a woman's freedom of choice, a constitutional
right established by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973 in
Roe vs. Wade.<<
